Former candidate on this year’s The Apprentice, Shannon Martin has launched her British-led bridal collection, Nori Ivy, which she originally pitched to Lord Sugar. “While I was grateful for the opportunity to be on the show, I left in week two when I discovered the process wasn’t for me,” she says. “I realised I didn’t need a business partner to make Nori Ivy a success, as I could do it on my own, alongside my amazing team!” Shannon already has two thriving Yorkshire businesses, Dotty Bridal and OffThe-Peg Bridal Outlet, and has been part of the wedding industry for over 10 years. The Nori Ivy collection of 14 gowns is available in sizes 0-30, and features stunning silhouettes, a variety of textures, exquisite fabrics and intricate detailing; all of which are customisable to any bride’s requirements.
